ok so count up 4 nodes including the top. then pinch out the top to give 8 flowering tops 2 per node. hope that makes sense. only lst if you need to spread out the stems for even light coverage.

Theirs not really a right or wrong way.

Yes I'll check that out now thank you but just so i make it perfectly clear for myself. The cotelydons and the first set of serrated don't count and I start the count after those up until the fourth node once there I snip(pinch) the literal top node that's just growing in? Then somehow new tops form? Lol.

I think my first plant is almost ready to top, am I only literally taking the top node like in the video? The guide said to choo it all the way back to the second but I'm worried to do that.

Was I right in saying the cotelydons and the first set of serrated don't count?

I'll get a picture up when I can to see if you think it's time or not yet. Thanks mate.

Awesome job bro 🤙🏻 Yeah I think my BTTF2 is just about to start growing that 4th(6th) node so I think I am going to top her then LST. Should I top or LST first or does it not matter?
Should I leave time between each or just do them at the same time?
